Update: De Beers Diamond Settlement Checks On the Way!

By Kimberly Mirando

 


 
Finally, some good news for Class Members of the De Beers diamond class action lawsuit settlement: On May 21, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the final petition for review. Shortly after, the Claims Administrator announced it is conducting final claim audits and will distribute the class action settlement funds within the next few months.

We reported last month that the U.S. Supreme Court received a second petition for judicial review by a member of the Indirect Purchaser Class, which could have delayed the payment of claims for an undefined period of time.

Luckily, the Supreme Court did not take long making its decision, and it looks like Class Members will finally get paid after years of delays caused by challenges and appeals.

We’ll keep you notified as soon as we learn when Class Members can expect their settlement checks to arrive from the De Beers diamond class action lawsuit settlement.

A special thanks to Top Class Actions reader “Nico,” who alerted us to the update to the Settlement Administrator’s website, DiamondsClassAction.com.

    So the administrator has had 6 years to prepare for the distribution, and they still need time to verify claims? Unreal. They shoud have had this ready to go a long time ago. I hope they pay a decent interest amount and make the extra weight worthwhile

    Angela – how could you have gotten your settlement ‘a few weeks ago’? Today is June 8, 2012. Including May 21, 2012 and excluding May 31, 2012 only today stand at 14 business days.

    The Diamond Class Action Settlement website says verbatim: “On May 21, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the final petition for review. The claims administrator is conducting final claim audits, and distribution of settlement funds should take place within the next few months. “

    No fruit loop settlement or rice krispies… I did receive a payment that was about 5% of the claim I submitted. I even have an assigned claim number. Maybe I’m at the top of the list but just hold on you’ll get yours too

    There was a rice crispie settlement a few months ago. Maybe Angela is talking about that settlement. Or maybe she got fruit loop settlement (lol).
